The question of whether any two men can be so similar in appearance and mannerisms as to deceive people familiar with their characteristics and daily habits has been argued to endless limits without even coming to a decision. About ten years ago Katherine Ce- ' cil Thurston published The Masquerader, a novel that used this idea as the basis of the plot. It was seized upon by an omniverous reading public and ran through ten editions in record time. Even today it can he found in the book shelves of lovers of good lit- erature; and the discussion it raised is being renewed again by the fact that this plot, famous through the book and later through the stage play based upon it, has been made into a film. The Masquerader, the cinema version of the book and play, will give American theatre patrons, all week beginning October 29, their first opportunity to decide whether or not such a close resemblance can be accepted as a human possibility. John Chilcote and John Loder are the names of the two characters whose resemblance to each other predicates the complications into which the plot develops. One is a scion of an aristocratic family, a member of the legislature, a leader gone astray. The other is possessed of latent talents that have been consistently suppressed by lack of opportunity. Richard Walton Tully, who pioneer- - ed the stage version through many suc- cessful years, is responsible for the picture. To aid him in his work he has brought to the starring role Guy Bates Post, who created the leading dual role, and plays both' parts in the picture.

She is the embodiment of peppery personality, the singer of original songs all her own. In fact, theres no one just like her and ever since the Orpheum took her out of a cabaret and made her a star of the first magnitude, her all too infrequent visits to Salt Lake have been a suc- - Beginning Wednesday Evening, November RAE SAMUELS The Blue Streak of Vaudeville ADELAIDE HERRMANN (Widow of the famous Herrmann the Great) Offering a New Series of Mystery Problems Joan of Arc" and Noahs Ark THE RAMSDELLS & DEYO In a Smart Dance Offering THE NAGFYS Weird Wonderlsts Defying Natures Laws W.
